Any general tips would be appreciated.

So far I have raised the front and rear ride height.

The car is much looser on the asphalt , so I may soften the rear side springs a little and firm up the front springs a bit.

Any insight on set up science , tips and tricks would help.

Thanks
Something I missed , I actually lower my chassis for asphalt & run larger tires, that gives you more grip. When the tires are small enough I will quick true them & use them on carpet.

Edit. Something I tried last race was a high rpm low torque 12.3 rotor. It really helped with low speed tire spin.
